We Adopt Seeds!

To contribute to the long-term preservation of non-hybrid seeds, so that future generations can continue to enjoy, and preserve, the diversity of a plant variety/type.

To support the Seeds of Diversity’s*seed preservation program–a Canadian program partly supported by the Bauta Foundation.

To honour our past association members by having each member choose a seed to be preserved in their name. Then, we officially adopt “their” seed through the adoption process at the Seeds of Diversity’s Seed Library.

Following is the list of past Qualicum Beach Seedy Saturday members, along with the seed chosen to be preserved in his or her name.
